List of high-proper-motion stars

This is a list of high-proper motion stars. There is no specific velocity that is considered high, but the proper motion article notes that the majority of stars have a proper motion of 0.01 arc-seconds per year. Note that the closer a star is to earth, the faster it will appear to travel in arc-seconds per year for a given "real" velocity; therefore, the PM values here are apparent velocities.

Included in the table is also the radial motion (RM) if available. In cases where the numerical PM value is not available in a simple arc-seconds per year form, "high" has been used in the table; for instance, in the case of 5 Cancri, "high" is used because the values available in the available article do not resolve the right ascension and declination proper motions into a single numerical value.

In the table below PM values are shown in arc seconds per year and RM values are shown in kilometers per second, positive and negative values indicating away (+) or toward (-) Earth.
